There's a breeze that's blowin' in from the land

Instead of salt air all we breathe in is sand

Crippled the cloud that once brought the rain

Good job now we'll never see our coasts again



But those of us, those of us

Us of lesser gods

Won't eat till we're hungry

Won't drink till we're parched

But those of us, those of us

Who forget where we're from

Create now this hell where no devil could spawn

Take me back, take me back

To the way life used to be



A whisper's now sayin'

What words used to speak

Starve must the child, hungry sex on tv

For no act of contrition

Will pardon the soul

The damage now glistens

See how it glows



But those of us, those of us

Us of lesser gods

Won't eat till we're hungry

Won't drink till we're parched

But those of us, those of us

Who forget where we're from

Create now this hell where no devil could spawn

Take me back, take me back

To the way life used to be



Yesterday is better that it is today

And today will be better than tomorrow they say

We don't want what you know

But we know what we want

That's live and let live

We're all different that counts



But those of us, those of us

Us of lesser gods

Won't eat till we're hungry

Won't drink till we're parched

But those of us, those of us

Who forget where we're from

Create now this hell where no devil could spawn

Take me back, take me back

To the way life used to be



Dark is the shallow man

Proud without pride

Worn out comes the welcome

From a truth that never lies

Weep now for the tear

Cold on the face

So come down from your heaven lord

Let me show you hell on earth

Take me back

To the way life's never been
